Forgot to mention. Green Heron is probably a pretty pedestrian species for most of you, but I can easily go a year w/o seeing one in Sagadahoc or Lincoln counties (or anywhere in Maine for that matter).
So watching one fly in off the ocean, cross the lagoon and fly into or through the trees at Popham, produced a PATCH BIRD. Never before seen at the tip of the Phippsburg Peninsula (at least by me). I've got to think this was a migrant, perplexed by the fog.

I don't usually bird Popham at Low Tide, but a dearth of birds elsewhere led me to hit the lagoon here at Low Tide, and hang in during the early flood, in thick fog, and threatened rain. The cruddy weather did cut down on human disturbance a bit, but not entirely.
No unusual species, but the highlight had to be photos of 4 out of 5 flagged semi sands. 1 was flagged in Brazil, the others flagged locally as part of an experiment.
Very definite up-tic in Least Sands, mostly juvies.
